Where did you find the porche wallpaper?
Forgive me if it's not a porche, but it just appears to be.
Gracias sir
Just moved, still haven't set up my PowerCenter Pro yet, and all those cables down there - yeesh.

May I ask where you found that desk? Is it from IKEA? I've been looking for something shallow like that, but haven't had much luck.
It's a very nice setup!
That's a really expensive shelf ornament!
I always liked the look of the cube. Just wish they'd kept the form factor around farther in the G4 life cycle without having to do third party processor upgrades. I guess they couldn't be too powerful though, without fans anyway. Nice little setup you have there!Where did you find the porche wallpaper?

You sir are correct it is a porsche. I got it from here:http://www.porsche.com/usa/entertainment/computer/
Okay, thanks. That is pretty much all that my tv is ever on, maybe TNT or ABC occasionally. What can I say, I'm a hardline conservative and I live with democrats

There is nothing conservative about Fox Noise... They give real conservatives a bad name!
I never said that they are conservative. I just don't think that they are as biased as CNN/MSNBC. Lets not turn this into a political debate.

Made a couple additions:
-Bose Companion 3 Speakers (Absolutely AMAZING!!!
-BT Keyboard & Wireless Mighty Mouse
I don't know what I'd do if I had to look at all those cables dangling!
How's that Iomega External Hardrive? I've been looking for one.
So would I, that looks great! I actually bought what I think is the same rack from IKEA for my desk, but it doesn't seem to have the right holes to mount it underneath. It's really disappointing, I'll have to find some other way to hide my hideous cable mess.
Looks great for you, though!
I just ordered 2 of these from Iowa, can't wait to set them up and get rid of all the wires. The shipping was $20

No Ikeas in Maine?
I might just head down there tomorrow (15 minutes from my house!) and pick up two of them (if I can find them in the giant store). They also had some bamboo plants (Which they've always had) but this time arranged in a nice glass cube with cool rocks. I'll probably pick up that too

Dumb question here but what the hell.
Do you type with those 'covers' over the k/board or are are they just placed there whilst idling

sadly, no. You should deffinetely pick up a few, they look sweet.
Congrats Genden! Hope you enjoyed Coral
Thanks, I actually dig my hometown (Coconut Grove, FL) a little bit better though
It's actually really speedy. It's a 500 gig 7200rpm drive, but my only complaint was no FW800. It's great for time machine, storing large files and looks pretty sweet next to your mac
Also it's pretty quiet, when the head parks, you barely hear it.It was my "hush gift" from
when they tried to screw me on my MBP repair.Although the racks move the cables off the floor and hide them from you, when you need to unplug something or fiddle with the cables it's all like *&)(@%*)(@*%FJALFJALK JT#)USHTI****(%)GRRRRR
Actually, I find that having the screw adjustments on the bottom of the rack make it easy to get to wires to remove/adjust them. Just unscrew the pins, lower and tilt the rack and you have full access to everything down there. I also bundled most of my cords with the velcro cable ties to keep them separated and taunt, so that makes it easier to identify things later.
You have to drill the holes in the desk yourself... I don't know if thats' what you meant or not.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I've been working really hard to get my setup together
I'm planning on buying a Mac Pro next year and 24" LCD. Then I'll clean off all the laptop stuff and use the desk solely for desktop work. The speakers were my first purchase of the future setup so I'm saving saving saving!! 
Here's my new setup. I built the cherry desk from scratch, and put it in a living room which we're in the middle of converting into a "den." The coolest part? A hidden drawer on the back of the desk which gives me a place to put all my hard drives, iPods, iPhone, and other misc. electronics.
Loving it so far!
Oh, yeah... and since the rest of my 'setup' is so well hidden... here is what it consists of:
